I have no debts and no person who I am fearing ringing the doorbell ...but when it rings I have an anxiety that its not good and sometimes wont even answer.

Is this normal?

    I always preferred knocking over doorbells. It is easier to tell who it is.

    I do this, too. I pretend I'm not home. Which is pathetic in a small apartment, when they've already fuckin heard that I'm home :-S

    It's an anxiety thing. If you find it's interfering with your life, it's worth looking into some cognitive behavioural therapy. If it's not, then just keep doing whatever you're doing.
